51. What was your favorite moment/s of the year?

52. What was your least favorite moment of the year?
    > There were times when I feel my world stops. My world just revolves around love-hate, I want- should not, this is wrong-who is to say this is wrong. Personal struggles. I can function but my heart isn’t in whatever I am dong. I don’t like it because wala namang nangyayari, wala naman akong ginagawa. There are times that you feel you’re making an issue out of something hat shouldn’t be an issue. Diba kainis? Parang andaram pero hindi naman dapat? Yon. lang naman.
53. Where were you when 2007 began?
    > House
54. Where will you be when 2007 ends?
    > House
55. Who will you be with when 2007 ends?

56. Did you keep your new years resolution of 2007?
    > I didn’t make any specifics. I picture 2007 as a time for me to break away, to rebel against my self imposed rules (I think,which is of course influenced by the rules of society, mostly, and some exaggerated by yours truly due to some unfortunately events of inexperience about the reality of life) and try to be “wilder” in the “good-wholesome” sense.
57. Did you fall in love in 2007?
    > I do. Finally admitted it to myself (?) and showed it. And happy.
58. If yes, with whom?
    > With life. ha.
59. If yes, do they know?
    > I think I’m pretty lame in hiding my true feelings but I don’t know how those feelings are interpreted by people around me and I don’t dare ask them.
60. Are you still in love with them?
    > More and more each day
61. You regret it?
    > [ Sharing my friend's answer: "My answer last year was that you never regret loving someone. Hehe. I still take that stand. If there’s one thing I regret, it’s not being able to speak up for once and told him everything. Although either way: (whether I told him before or not) the end is still the same, him not remembering it and zero communication. Right now I am thinking that If I did told him before at least there is more reason for me not to communicate with him now. And my alibi for not speaking up is playing it safe. Lesson for 2008: It’s ok to act stupid and make mistakes sometimes. It’s what makes us human. Rather than playing it safe and regretted the act of never having any regrets, and you never get to grow. Either way you will end up regretting. Might as well have a strong alibi and not a petty excuse. " ] <– we do share same thoughts about these ano? > I know love is an incontrollable feeling but not doing anything about that love wouldn’t ignite a flame. This year, I gave in to my feelings (sounds like a song!) and just showed it or I really cannot control it. IT FEELS GREAT TO LOVE and I’m thankful I felt that. It feels greater to be loved in return. I DO NOT REGRET any of these.The only thing that is bothering me is the absence of “label”. I used to ask the difference between lovers and friends? What is the boundary? I felt crossing the boundary but not really officially-legally. I don’t know. Everything is so uncertain yet I know I’m loving. I’m loving and hurting and loving and hurting and fighting and struggling and loving more. See how uncertain the feeling is?
62. Did you break-up with anyone in 2007?
    > Did not have a boyfriend. And breaking up with a friend is not in my vocabulary either.

TAKE note… the last two were free because my dad was given VIP passes by his friend (I wouldn’t watch a movie more than once in a movie house if I were to pay!)

    > Quoting my friend: “I guess if I’m treating someone badly, that person won’t even no tice, that’s how discreet I am. Haha. But not this year.” <– ako rin. But I’m not fighting pailalim. I’m just trying to keep everything as cool as possible. Confrontations will follow, hopefully, when everyone’s in a better mood. *Oh but I did get terribly hot at one time and true but hurtful words just keep coming out (in short, the bomb exploded). Hai. Life.
77. Did somebody treat you badly in 2007?
    > They never knew they did, and I completely forgot all about it na. It wasn’t really that bad. Hehe. <– same vague answer. haha.
78. How much money did you spend in 2007?
    > Does somebody really answer this question? My most expensive year so far. Don’t ask how much. Will you tell me if I ask you of your annual income?
79. What was your proudest moment of 2007?
    > Oh. College award (really… kahit it doesn’t have any record, kahit it’s a “sayang-sumabit pa” award… just the thought that I almost hit it.. it was good enough). And loving. loving. more loving. And not taking the board exams (admitting, I won’t practice my course for better or for worse).
